I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.
I have been using all of these the last 2 years and I will update what other people have started along with some tools on how to buy on multiple accounts if people want this info. This is just a quick first draft. I will clean up and add more details.
please dont .... up the work I will put into this. please message me and I can add more data and I have more buying groups that I can add

What do you mean when you say your account is "restricted? That you're unable to buy Amazon products like Fire, Kindle etc.? That is also the case for me, but that is the extent of my restrictions. I can live with it. I actually created a new account and was able to get Amazon product orders to go through on it. It feels like it would be pressing my luck to order for BGs through that account, but at least I'll be able to order for myself if I want to.

Yes, including Amazon Business accounts. I have created six Amazon Personal accounts. I found that I can purchase three AirPods for three of the accounts. When I tried to purchase some more AirPods using the fourth account, I could not even purchase one. So, my feeling is that each person (i.e., one PC) can purchase up to 9 AirPods using three different Amazon Personal accounts. I think that Amazon might have tracked my IP so that they know all these accounts are mine (I also used CCs with the same card holder for all the accounts).

Weird situation with PM. What are my options? They received a camera package I shipped them on Feb. 3. Nothing for two weeks. I filed a ticket, and they responded that it needs to be returned because it didn't come in the original box. OK, fine whatever -- I can't prove or disprove that. It came direct from the retailer. But now they're also saying one of the lenses is missing. It sounds like they just lost it in their warehouse? Or it's BS? Can I file a police report or something and say it was stolen? I don't really know how to proceed, and they're not really communicating with me. I doubt the retailer will accept it with a missing lens. I don't even really know how to get it back from them.

I contacted Amazon and told them box arrived broken and I have no idea if it has all the contents and scheduled a return. Haven't been refunded yet But I should receive the full refund.
I don't know how it is with other retailers.
if you do have issues, you should also check if the credit card you used covers anything. That is if you used a credit card.

I have one item returned by PM in January. So far, the return process is smooth: receiving notification via ticket, sending the return label, and the return shipping started next day. Wondering whether PM is more stringent in product quality these days.

Any item that has even just the box damaged even slightly will always be asked to return since it needs to be something someone eventually would want to buy.
I doubt these returns have anything to do with "cutting losses"
in fact the product they made me return is not available anymore for this price and I'm sure they'll gladly take more of them at the price I paid

Are there websites other than Amazon that won't just cancel orders sent to the PM warehouses directly? I live in a state with sales tax, so in general it's not viable for me to order things to my person address and then ship them to PM (in addition to the hassle of the process). I'm new to this game and thought I had done well on a recent Dell deal, but ended up getting my orders quickly cancelled. Do people in my position just eat the sales tax as the cost of the points, or are there other ways around this?

To minimize orders getting cancelled, modify the shipping address to something they haven't seen before. Ex. if the bg address is 123 Main St. ship your order to 123R Main St, Suite XY . Works often for me.

No issues with orders not being delivered? I'll take a look at that. Thanks!
